Glucosamine derivatives of the formula <IMAGE> (X, R, R1, R2, R4, R6-R9 have the meaning stated in Claim 1) are prepared by condensation of corresponding 3-O-carboxymethylglucopyranosides with corresponding dipeptides. These glucosamine derivatives have the ability to increase the immunogenicity of an antigen on admixture therewith and, on systemic administration, to enhance the immunological reactivity of the treated organism. They can thus be used as adjuvants to increase the vaccine protection from bacterial, viral or parasitic pathogens. |
